The sandworms are creatures that will exist in the "hard" map zones. Additional critters of that "size" are the elephant looking Koa and the "Okkam" crab.

how hard are those things to kill?

The Koa "Giant Elephant" is around 2578hp and its not aggro.... super easy to kill if you are in a dinghy with a repeater gun... The "Crab" requires a a crew to to take it down and it gives 1300k glass fragments. The Sandworm, is like a raid level animal.

Chadz is the lead developer of the game...

for what it's worth, we had enough servers for the launch. the problem is just that 10k people connecting simultaneously revealed bugs that even our load testing didn't catch.

There is NO NEWS about wiping anything at the moment, please IGNORE anyone who tells you otherwise

Granted he is not the most eloquent community speaker...

how do you deconstruct a vehicle? i have literally never seen that option

You can, on the build menu. Press B then you will see a button below to dismantle stuff. You can take apart everything build in the build menu, and you get some materials back.

Haven't been able to deconstruct the ship itself, just the wings/legs.

The body of the walker cannot be taken apart after built. You can deconstruct wings, legs and anything on the deck.

We got our proxy license and are up to 500 fragments, so I think after this weekend we might have enough to make a first push for a proxy walker

That's great, its going to take a quite a lot of materials to build that thing...

Are handheld ranged weapons ever going to be a thing? I'm guessing no since they're cRPG spergs?

No, that has been brought up during closed beta and there is no plans to bring bows, or crossbows... The only "ranged" weapon is a Javelin that does 20 damage...

Yeah. When you start getting into that stuff, you need to be crafting quality 200 weapons with double the damage stats. LUCKILY they made the game in such a way that you can't take stuff from a harder oasis to an easier oasis. So once you go to Hard, you can't travel back to Medium. If you want to go to Medium, you have to spawn on an existing walker in the zone. This helps segment gear tiers.

Marley Yoda and myself were able to go from medium to hard and back to travel back to medium normally. What you are describing happened when you tried to go from medium to easy.

Now on the current build we are playing that could change, but we can't be sure because there aren't any hard maps in the game.

TL;DR - They are shutting the servers down for 7 days so they can work on their backend issues.

A couple of mods in the the official discord posted this tonight which would bring it to 9 days total downtime:

IcanariToday at 7:02 PM: According to current information, the server is expected to be installed on 04/07/20. Please note that this date may change because of reasons outside the influence of Nitrado.

иван иванович иванскиToday at 6:55 PM: No announcement has been made regarding a wipe if one is needed the devs will let everyone know when they bring the servers back up and hopefully before that.

Unlocked almost all the stuff from the tree that just require fragments and back at where I was before the game went down a week ago. It's a fun game when pvp happens but I am a bit burnt out with going so hard and the wipe and everything. Do we know when they are putting the hard zones live?

As I understand it, they are trying to maintain the servers were stabilized, before moving on to other things. I'm guessing it will be a week at least, probably with the next improvement patch.

how does territory ownership work? if you kill someone why are they murdered now? what's the tax %?

It's not a Tax, more like we take a 20% bonus of all materials gathered in controlled land. Technically, the game assumes we are benevolent owners that want to allow people to come and live in our sim farm and let them use our crops... but as ruthless overlords, we want everything for ourselves and will gently caress anyone who comes into the territory as it should be. So when you murder someone in the territory it's marked in the map...

In another episode of Swayze's Crazies... Goon Wing Ops...



We have been constantly fighting this group of pubbies called Fist of the Empire, and pretty much every night we collect buckets of salts and tears from all of them. We want more goons to join us for shenanigans and fun expeditions on behalf of the demise of these pubbies.
